- IPDB This is a re-themed game. It used to be Bally's 1978 'Strikes and Spares'. "Verspiel Dein Wasser nicht!" translates to "Don't gamble away your water", meaning, "Don't gamble with your ecology/water resources". The word 'nicht' is not capitalized in German spelling. The theme centers around environmentally friendly behavior, with plenty of text on the playfield such as "PITSCHE PATSCHE NASS Das ist der grosse Wasser Spa� DUSCHEN STATT BADEN" (~ "wit wut wet, that's the big water fun, shower instead of bathing"). The artists, Mychael Gerstenberger and Ralf Kr�ling, completed the artwork in 1984. This machine was co-produced by Bally Wulff and by MALBUCH art studio, both of Berlin, for their client "Zentrale Werbeagentur, Berlin" (an advertising agency) and for the Ecology Board of the "Umweltbundesamt" (Federal Environmental Agency). MALBUCH made prints of the artwork in the required size and put each piece in the individual machines that were supplied by Bally to Bally Wulff Berlin. The backglass was made by Bally Wulff. Artist Mychael Gerstenberger told us that MALBUCH provided artwork for three machines which were shown at schools and educational fairs and exhibitions around West Germany for years. He recalls making small repairs to one of the games as late as 1987. used
